Despite some users attempting to delete incriminating posts, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) maintainx that the agency already possesses the necessary data as it intensifies its crackdown on individuals flaunting extravagant lifestyles on social media while declaring low taxable income.

Those living luxuriously yet paying minimal taxes will now face strict scrutiny. FBR officials warned that individuals who regularly post evidence of lavish spending, including foreign trips, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-end events, should think twice before sharing such content online.

The tax authority is actively monitoring over 100,000 social media accounts across multiple platforms to identify discrepancies between declared income and visible expenditure. Sources confirmed that the FBR has prepared four new tax evasion cases against social media users from Rawalpindi, Lahore, Bahawalpur, and Islamabad. “In all cases, the declared income and the visible level of spending do not match,” an FBR source said.

The crackdown has also extended to the son of a prominent politician from South Punjab, whose case has reportedly been finalized. Once investigations are completed, these cases will be submitted to the relevant courts for legal action.

According to FBR sources, the agency’s Intelligence and Investigation Directorate is leading the nationwide operation, preparing an average of three to four tax evasion cases daily. Officials expect the first wave of results from this campaign to emerge within a month.

To verify undeclared wealth, the FBR is also collecting expense data from wedding halls, dress designers, and beauty salons to track spending on major social events.
